Roma icon, one-club legend

Francesco Totti is one of football's most celebrated one-club men, a player whose on-field artistry and long service made him synonymous with AS Roma. Born on 27 September 1976 in Rome, he joined Roma's youth system as a boy and made his senior debut on 28 March 1993. From those early days to his farewell in 2017, Totti combined technical brilliance with leadership, and Walkouts honours that legacy through carefully curated memorabilia tied to his most notable moments.

Totti's breakthrough came as he matured into Roma's creative fulcrum, wearing the number 10 and eventually becoming the club captain. Under managers such as Zdenek Zeman and Fabio Capello he evolved from a left-sided talent into a classic playmaker and then into a versatile forward. The peak of his club career was the Serie A title campaign of 2000-01, capped by the historic title-clinching win on 17 June 2001, but his impact continued across two decades of domestic and European competition.

Over his entire professional career Totti remained loyal to a single club, becoming Roma's all-time leading scorer and appearance maker. His records include 307 goals in 786 appearances for Roma, and he is the club's top scorer in both Serie A and European competitions. Major honours with the club include the Serie A 2000-01 title, two Coppa Italia trophies in 2006-07 and 2007-08, and two Supercoppa Italiana wins in 2001 and 2007. Totti's signature techniques - the no-look pass, deft chips and set-piece precision - are part of what makes signed shirts and autographs so desirable to collectors.

Internationally, Totti represented Italy with distinction, earning 58 caps and contributing across major tournaments. He played a key role in Italy's run to the Euro 2000 final and was an important member of the squad that won the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, where he finished as one of the joint-top assist providers. He retired from international football in 2007 to focus on his club career.

For collectors, provenance and context matter as much as the item itself. Memorabilia linked to Totti - authenticated autographs, signed shirts from milestone matches, and match-used items - carry narrative value because they can be tied to specific dates, goals and trophies from his career. Walkouts highlights such connections, ensuring that signed merchandise and other memorabilia are presented with clear factual background that complements each piece's provenance.

Totti retired from professional football on 17 July 2017, leaving a legacy that blends loyalty, creativity and enduring local significance. His status as a cultural and sporting icon ensures that authenticated memorabilia, whether a signed shirt or an autograph card, remains treasured by fans and collectors. As interest in curated football collectibles persists, items associated with Totti continue to be sought after for their direct links to a remarkable career and documented achievements.
